The Live-Action ‘Little Mermaid’ Has Eyes On Melissa McCarthy To Play Ursula

The Little Mermaid is one of the most iconic films from Disney.

And like all classic Disney films, it must be made into a live-action film! Which means we all want to know who will become part of the cast.

'The Little Mermaid' is a Disney classic.

We all love the story of Ariel and Prince Eric falling in love.

And we're pumped for the live-action movie!

But every Disney movie has a villain that the prince or princess must face.

And The Little Mermaid is no different.

The villain in the movie is Ursula.

Her goal?

Disney

To ruin King Triton and his family, and steal Ariel's voice.

She wants to control the seas.

As far as villains go, Ursula is one of the more popular ones.

She has a catchy tune, and a great evil laugh.

What more could you want?

Her song 'Poor Unfortunate Souls' is a classic.

Even if you hated her, chances are you knew every word to her song.

And Disney has already found the person to play her!

Even before they bothered finding Ariel!

I guess it goes to show how popular she is.

And it turns out Melissa McCarthy is set to play the character!

That would be AMAZING!

I would love to see her all CGI-ed up to play the villain.

If you don't quite remember who she is...

Netflix

She starred in Gilmore Girls, Bridesmaids, The Heat, and more!

What do you think?
